I know it won't happen, but I'd love to see Fullarton come in for the two remaining games and JvR played forward for 100% of both games.

Fullarton ain't no ruck, doesn't like contact. He's a forward only.

    Casey didn’t play last week, maybe that had something to do with no Jeffo. 
    Next week might be different.

    Yes at least they are all travelling up to Gold Coast together it will be good for the full list to spend some travel and game day time together.

    Chris isn't the sharpest tool in the shed at the best of times.

    Perhaps Chris is, perhaps Chris is not. One thing that appeals is to replace the doorman - change can be as good as a holiday. Maybe, in 2025, it would be a good offering for Badloss, who really needs to see the other side.

    Honestly the melts over Jefferson not getting selected, is worth him not getting selected.

    Don’t think anyone has overreacted. Our season is done, what harm comes from playing him? It’s hardly Watts on QB all over again.

    Hopefully Jeffo and Brown are late changes as emergencies. 
     

    It’s the perfect time to blood a couple of players. 
     

    Disappointed with selection. Change and review does not need to wait until seasons end.

    Listened to Dwanes world the other day did anyone else catch Chris from Camberwells take?? He reckons Goody will be gone by seasons end. Now I know everyone has an opinion but for some reason I have a sneaky suspicion that he could be onto something here!

    Is it available online? I’m not in melb so can’t listen. I’m happy to go through the torture of listening to Dwayne just for Chris

    Match committee meeting probably took all of 30 seconds this week judging by those changes.

    Match committee is only Goodwin these days

    Yes, Chris from Camberwell has called twice this week on Monday and Wednesday and he didn't hold back. Unfortunately Dwayne Russell gives Chris from Camberwell the royal treatment and gives him plenty of airtime and encouragement whenever he calls. 

    I don't really take much notice what he says but unfortunately the texters gives Dwayne plenty of encouragement to hear from him again soon.

    Oh yes, Chris from Camberwell is definitely someone I suggest you listen to. He is not at all unhinged. 

    Neither are any of us🤪

    Disappointing not to see Woey or Brown selected.

    Yep, very warm and humid up here after some decent rain. 28 degrees on Saturday so you visitors ensure the summer gear is packed and tell the players to put plenty of sunscreen on.

    This has been a horrible season. We have players out and the team we play get players back. Touk (nearly their best player) back for Suns which will help them in the middle. Then the weather turns against us. Be a tough game me thinks.

    Chris has been banging on about our lack of a "first rover" all season. Which kinda gives you an idea of where he's at. And his tortured mispronunciation of our players names is something to behold.

    If he didn't follow my club I'd think he was bloody hysterical. But he does. I also think he mentioned not renewing his membership should major upheaval not take place in the off season so Chris, while probably a lovely old fella, can G&GF.

    Wow one change Bowey in Oliver out. 

    @picket fence is going to have a heart attack!!!!

    Not the only one.  Our season is over, time to give the kids a run and see how they look at the top level.  GC have only lost once at home this year, so it's not like it's a game we expect to win.  Jefferson has more than earned a call-up.

    This is part of the reason we've stagnated as a club and many no longer taking much interest imv.

    Simon's selections have, on many occasions this season, been mind bogglingly more of the same olds that don't offer up much in terms of any weapons that will bother an oppo or impact in some way on match day.

    Why was bowey out of the team to begin with? Was he injured or been dropped?

    I think the past few weeks I stopped paying attention to selections

    I may watch the start to see if McVee plays mid-field. My only point of interest for Saturday arvo.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
